Would love to hear a discussion on this. If I owned a business near the FFAT I’d be pissed.

Bringing little kids for ASU game, anyone have a really good parking pass they're willing to sell so I don't have to die walking the kids across creation? Figured I'd check here before hopping on SeatGeek.

I work in a small off that has a single stall men’s room. It seems like every time I need to urinate someone is camped out in there. I wouldn’t mind so much but sometimes we’re talking 30 minute waits here. So in RRS opinion, how long should you spend in the work can taking the browns to the Super Bowl?

Big stuff here from Behren Morton and Joey McGuire. That last quote from McGuire is golden. Check it out.

This is one of the better articles I've written in some time, I feel like. Micah Hudson is a super impressive person to talk to and you can see the mentality and maturity just being around him. Enjoy this insight into his adjustment to becoming a Red Raider.

We had a chance to catch up with the super sophomore and rising star in the soccer world, Texas Tech's Sam Courtwright before the season starts next week at #4 Penn State (have an exhibition Aug 8 in Denver first!) Won Big 12 Freshman of the Year, First-Team All-Big Team and the programs first ever freshman to be named a NCAA All-American in the teams record breaking 2023 season. She has also been taking part in every USA National U-20 team camp and game since January and is likely to take part in the U-20 World Cup with Team USA in Columbia starting Sep 1. Who knows you may just see her in the Olympics and World Cup one day representing Team USA's senior national team squad as well. In summary: she's a rising star who brings a TON of flair and excitement to the game (peep the juggling rainbow flick to get the ball away from two surrounding attacking players at the start of the interview). Give it a watch, trust if you don't already know her you want to know this name as she is on track to be a Red Raider and soccer great alike.

I know there has to be a few posters out there that were going to Uncle Nasty's, Faces, White Rabbit and the Crystal Pistol among other Lubbock night spots.........my question is does anyone remember the exact address downtown of Freeman's, or some called it Freeman's Place ? Owned by Roger Freeman....

I've tried researching, found nothing. I'm pretty sure it was on Broadway, south side of the street.........and, they had a fire which was the end of the club, but did the entire building burn to the ground ? I can't think of an empty spot down there...........help !!!!

someone post this please haha

The fact that people in this country espouse it just shows how disconnected they are from reality. Government ownership of a nation's wealth is a disaster for its citizens. Instead of some poor, everyone is poor.

Exhibit A: Venezuela

So we got into a discussion in staff meetings today, when do you use Gold Bond powder?

Lux and Baskerville were only separated by 1 vote in the vote for 6th Best Player on the Team. When that happens, we go to a run-off between the top two vote getters to ensure the true people's choice! The poll will run for 24 hours and whoever wins gets 6th and whoever loses goes back into the pool of candidates for 7th best player on the team.

The wife (also Red Raider Alum) and I will be moving our oldest in to Talkington on Saturday as he is doing the early move in for rush. Gonna be a hard weekend on the Mrs.

About to head over to the facility for practice seven. Speaking with WR coach Juice Johnson after practice, alongside Brady Boyd, Jordan Brown and a certain five-star receiver.

@ALL HANDS

Isn't that the same Jesiah Pierre that was at Tech?

What do you think about these rankings? Anyone missing from this list?

Jacob Rodriguez only played 5 games last year but filled up the stat sheet in those 5 games. Not playing a full year left him off this list. Isaac Smith didn't play last year, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's on this list at the end of the season if he's healthy all year.

Many on RRS believe Tech to have the best group of LBs in the conference. True or False?

Any LBs from other teams you'd put on this list?

Got no issue with Roberts ranking. Pace and Roberts probably could be switched IMO.

Oklahoman Big 12 LB rankings

Big 12 football linebacker rankings 2024: Why Oklahoma State's Nick Martin tops the list​

Story by Justin Martinez, The Oklahoman
• 2d • 5 min read

The Oklahoman
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy doesn't know what to make of Big 12 football
Linebackers are often viewed as the heart and soul of a defense, and there are plenty of great ones in the Big 12.
There are returners such as Oklahoma State's Nick Martin and Texas Tech's Ben Roberts. But the conference also boasts newcomers such as Arizona's Jacob Manu and Utah's Karene Reid.
Here are the top 10 linebackers in the Big 12 entering the 2024 season:

Big 12 linebacker rankings for 2024 season​

10. Jesiah Pierre, UCF​

Pierre spent the first two seasons of his career at Florida and three seasons at Texas Tech before he transferred to UCF in January.
The 6-foot- 2 linebacker recorded 66 tackles (1.5 for loss) and recovered a fumble as a senior last season. That was good enough to earn an All-Big 12 honorable mention.


Despite only going 6-7 (3-6 Big 12) last season, Central Florida's defense allowed the fifth-fewest points per game (25.8). It now adds Pierre, who should contribute right away alongside fellow transfer linebacker Deshawn Pace.

9. Kaleb Elarms-Orr, TCU​

Elarms-Orr spent the first three seasons of his career at Cal before he transferred to TCU in December.
The 6-2 linebacker recorded 92 tackles (3.5 for loss) and six pass deflections last season as a redshirt sophomore. He earned a Pac-12 second team selection.
Elarms-Orr shouldn't have any trouble adjusting to Big 12 play with TCU. He'll form a strong linebacker duo with Namdi Obiazor.

8. Matt Jones, Baylor​

Jones is back for his sixth and final season with Baylor.
The 6-4 linebacker has 33 career starts under his belt. He recorded 82 tackles (11.5 tackles for loss) and three sacks as a redshirt senior in 2023, which earned him an All-Big 12 honorable mention.

7. Karene Reid, Utah​

Reid is another experienced player on this list who has made 31 career starts in his three seasons with Utah.
The 6-foot linebacker earned a Pac-12 first team selection as a sophomore in 2022 with 72 tackles (9.5 for loss) and five sacks. He then earned a Pac-12 second team selection last season with 67 tackles (two for loss) and five pass deflections.
Reid's numbers went down. But with fellow linebacker Levani Damuni expected to miss most of this season due to a lower leg injury, Reid will surely have an even larger role.

6. Namdi Obiazor, TCU​

Obiazor spent the first two seasons of his career at Iowa Western Community College, but he has since thrived at the Division I level with TCU.
The 6-3 linebacker recorded a team-high 84 tackles (six for loss) to go along with four sacks as a junior last season. That earned him an All-Big 12 honorable mention and a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honorable mention.
Obiazor's numbers might take a slight dip with Elarms-Orr now in the mix. Still, it's a duo that'll cause problems for opposing offenses this season.

5. Ben Roberts, Texas Tech​

Roberts only made two appearances as a true freshman in 2022, but he enjoyed a breakout campaign last season.
The 6-3 linebacker recorded 107 tackles (6.5 for loss) and forced two fumbles as a redshirt freshman. He earned a share of the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year award as a result.

Roberts didn't just solidify himself as a starter last season. He solidified himself as a top-five linebacker in the Big 12, and he should continue to improve this season.

4. Deshawn Pace, UCF​

Pace spent the first four seasons of his career at Cincinnati before he transferred to UCF in January.
The 6-2 linebacker led the Bearcats in tackles last season as a senior with 80 (11 tackles for loss), and he also recorded six pass deflections. He earned an All-Big 12 honorable mention.
UCF needs to replace the production of linebacker Jason Johnson, who recorded 115 tackles last season and is now in the NFL. Pace should fill that lead role.

3. Collin Oliver, Oklahoma State​

Oliver is a former Edmond Santa Fe High School standout who has been a consistent contributor for OSU throughout the years.
The 6-2 linebacker has earned an All-Big 12 second team selection in each of his three seasons with the program. He recorded 73 tackles (15.5 for loss) and six sacks as a junior last season.

Oliver earned a spot on the preseason All-Big 12 team. He'll form a lethal linebacker duo with fellow returner Nick Martin this season.

2. Jacob Manu, Arizona​

Manu is the best linebacker to join the Big 12 this season.
The 5-11 linebacker recorded 116 tackles (9.5 for loss) and 6.5 sacks for the Wildcats last season as only a sophomore. He earned an All-Pac 12 first team selection for his strong play.
Expectations are high for Manu as he helps Arizona make the move to a new conference. He earned a spot on the preseason All-Big 12 team.

1. Nick Martin, Oklahoma State​

Martin became a starter for the first time last season, and he never looked back.
The 6-foot linebacker recorded a conference-high 140 tackles (16 for loss) to go along with six sacks as a redshirt sophomore. He earned an All-Big 12 first team selection and a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year honorable mention.

Martin's 140 tackles last season were the most by an OSU player since 1984 and the most by any Big 12 player since 2018. Now that he's back for another season with the Cowboys, Martin is undoubtedly the best linebacker in the conference.

Been a minute since a good climate change thread. Figured it might even get @robertbass1252 to climb back out of his hot Florida bunker.


Enjoy

@dgraf @HK_RaiderOwl Genuinely curious to know your thoughts as to the cyclical nature of the climate that this reinforces as does most of our recorded history temps.

For clarity, this isn’t a troll. I’ve got a hybrid, considering an EV and have solar panels on my house. So as a “conservative” I think I’m pretty open minded in this realm

Do any of you have Cowboys season tickets and sell off the games you don’t use? One of my sons is really wanting to go to an NFL game and I’m debating Cowboys tickets for his birthday. Please reach out to me if you’d be willing to sell 2 for any games. I figure that avoiding secondary market sites could be beneficial for both parties. Thanks!
